The cost of the wake is not usually included in the funeral cost in the UK. The wake is a separate event. Families have the option to arrange the wake themselves or select a venue that provides packages for these types of gatherings.
The cost can vary from £500 to £1500 for the entire event including venue hire and refreshments. Venue hire can range from £100 to £500 per session, depending on the type, location, and size of your chosen venue. Catering costs typically go from £10 to £30 per person, for options such as simple finger foods and sandwiches or even full meals and alcoholic drinks.
When choosing a venue for a funeral wake, families often look for places that reflect their loved one’s personality and can provide a comfortable space for guests to gather and mourn. Options can include community halls, pubs, restaurants, and other private event spaces that can accommodate the expected number of attendees. Many families choose venues with sentimental value or those that offer convenient catering services or have a convenient location for the guests.
